Its only a game

[db swannie]

Atleast I am not an elias.

Idoubtthat.

 

[Hawk Dork]

What surprising responses.

I thought we might have a deeper talk about the way some of you have no life outside of watching football.

You say that like its a bad thing

 

[sirlothie]

It has a purpose.

But if you're seeking emotional, intellectual or spiritual fulfilment, you won't find it with football.

When you get your fat arse off the seat, throwing expensive light beer all over the family next to you in celebration of a goal, remember that at that very second:

- Someone is dying
- Someone is being born
- Millions of light years away, there's a new star emerging
- Four new colours have just been invented
- An extra 14 terabytes of information has just been added onto the web
- Brendan Fevola is passing out in a gutter somewhere
- Richmond is still s**t

Then apologise to that family, but not the father because he's a real estate agent and should be the first one lined up against the wall and shot when the revolution comes, and think about how it's only just a game.

Great post. And other things are happening:
- Quantum physics.
- Catholic priests are buggering some poor kid as we speak
- Supernovas are dying and being born, ie the universe is a mind-faark.
- You are disintegrating
- Music will always be music, an attack against ugliness and superstition.
- Stupidity is like overgrown grass. Just mow over it, and keep going.
- Richmond, etc.

And the revolution is just a T Shirt away

And that's you exhausted and out of content.

Is this a thread about entropy?

Just think, every time you go up to celebrate a goal, there are roughly around 100-200,000 people having sexual intercourse.

And 10 times as many having a flog.

Pisser of an OP.

Too bad that Bay 13 has lost its ability to see smart posters anymore.

Stronzo keep it up as some of us over 25's appreciate these threads.

After reading the OP, I'm considering donating my membership to help ease the suffering of the children of a war ravaged country.

Ummm supernovas don't get born or die. Stars do. Supernovas are the death of massive stars. There's my lawnmowing for the day.

 

[ChappyUK]

OP sounds like every Hawk circa 09.

I realised that after I posted, but CBF changing it. Imagine if Stephen Hawking posted here!

 

[Angus Young]

Lets be honest with one another here.

It's a made up sport played only in one part of the known universe, bound by a set of rules which not only alter from year to year but from game to game, within a competition guided by a hierarchy of interests which place the monied at the top - and fans much further down, with fairness and justice down further still.

A sport which draws such people to its attendance that see racial banners adorning the walls, scenes of drunken violence in it's aisles, s00z, and participants of the sport who are so desperate to further themselves and their team that they will put almost any substance into their body.

A sport with such a nepotistic bent, that it lines its media with so many mediocrities that you couldn't fit them all in a commentary box, let alone know which one to hate the most.

It's only a game, and one riddled with so many problems that you must question your personal worldview if you're letting it affect your emotional state. I mean, surely you people could be concentrating on something more worthwhile than a group of overpaid guys chasing a ball around?

This week more than any other re-enforced that whole notion of how emotionally invested we get.

Must have borrowed it from Cats fans after the 2008 Grand Final.

 

[ChappyUK]

Well that was the off season. Midway through 09 all my Hawk mates suddenly became really busy and had no time for football.

You're right actually. It was one day after the Grand Final.

And yet the OP has posted over 24000 times on a site known as bigfooty, and has been a mod on same since like forever.

Footy is everything, as it should be.

 

[hawkman]

We have altered our game style. Maybe that's why you're enjoying us more.

Definitely enjoy seeing more goals being kicked in Freo games this year

 

[Wojcinski]

Strong passive melt, if you really didn't care you wouldn't bother making a post like this.

 

[Hawk Dork]

If Ross Lyons wasnt the coach of his team he wouldnt make a thread like this

 

[Dinsdale]

It has a purpose.

But if you're seeking emotional, intellectual or spiritual fulfilment, you won't find it on BAE13.

EFA.
but seriously, losing to CarLOLton?
